Hi,
One of our customers complains about
pg_ctl stop -m fast
could not shutdown PG server though we cannot reproduce the same problem here.
They claim only "-m immediate" can take PG down after issuing "-m fast".
The PG version is 7.3.2.
What might prevent "-m fast" to shutdown PG (long transaction, etc.)?
What should I do to help the customer solve this issue?
Thanks,
